This opportunity could suit an experienced learning professional who understands both formal learnership requirements and practical workplace training within the hygiene and cleaning sector.
What should candidates know about the position?
The vacancy is advertised by Unique Personnel for a client operating in the hygiene services industry. The successful candidate will facilitate learning, assess learner performance and moderate completed work.

- Closing date: 5 August 2026
The successful candidate must be comfortable travelling across the two provinces to support employees, learners, training partners and other stakeholders.
What will the successful candidate be responsible for?
The position combines classroom facilitation, workplace learning, formal assessment and quality assurance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Meeting facilitation, assessment and moderation targets
- Working with training partners to maintain the required training standards
- Delivering suitable training to employees, learners and other stakeholders
- Developing schemes of work and structured lesson plans
- Preparing and facilitating learning sessions
- Conducting learner assessments and post-course evaluations
- Compiling accurate training and assessment reports
- Maintaining accreditation and registration with quality-assurance partners
- Keeping up with industry best practices and market developments
- Identifying relevant training and business opportunities
This is not an entry-level training position. Candidates should already understand learnership delivery, learner evidence, assessment processes and moderation standards.
Which minimum requirements must candidates meet?
Candidates should meet the following requirements before submitting an application:
- Matric or an equivalent qualification
- Registration as both an assessor and moderator with the Services Sector Education and Training Authority
- Hygiene or cleaning-related qualifications
- Practical experience in the cleaning industry
- Previous facilitation, assessment and moderation experience
- A valid driver’s licence and access to their own vehicle
- Willingness to work across the Western and Eastern Cape
A Further Education and Training Certificate in Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development at National Qualifications Framework Level 4 or higher will be an advantage.
Which assessor and moderator registrations are required?
Applicants must be registered with the Services Sector Education and Training Authority as an assessor and moderator for all three of the following South African Qualifications Authority qualifications:
- SAQA ID 57937: National Qualifications Framework Level 1
- SAQA ID 36233: National Qualifications Framework Level 2
- SAQA ID 20175: National Qualifications Framework Level 3
Candidates should check that their registrations are current and that supporting certificates clearly display the relevant qualification identification numbers.
Itumeleng’s Insider Tip: List all three South African Qualifications Authority identification numbers prominently in your curriculum vitae. Attach clear proof of your assessor and moderator registrations so the recruiter can verify your eligibility without requesting additional documents.
What qualities could strengthen an application?
A strong candidate will be proactive, organised and confident when working with different groups of learners.
The position also requires someone who can balance training delivery with detailed administration. Lesson plans, assessment records, moderation reports and post-course evaluations must be completed accurately.
Experience working with external training partners will be particularly valuable because the successful candidate must help maintain accreditation standards and programme quality.
How should candidates prepare their documents?
Before starting the online process, candidates should prepare:
- An updated curriculum vitae
- A copy of their Matric certificate
- Occupationally Directed Education, Training and Development certificate, if available
- Services SETA assessor registration
- Services SETA moderator registration
- Proof of registration for all three required qualification identification numbers
- Hygiene or cleaning-related certificates
- Evidence of practical cleaning-industry experience
- A valid driver’s licence
The curriculum vitae should explain the candidate’s experience in facilitation, learner assessment, moderation, reporting and workplace training.
How can candidates submit an application?
Applications must be completed through the official online application portal.
Candidates who already have an account should sign in before continuing. New candidates must create a profile, complete the required personal and professional information, and upload their curriculum vitae.
Review every section before submitting because the completed online profile and curriculum vitae will be shared with the recruiter.

Candidates who meet the registration and industry-experience requirements should submit early enough to resolve any account, document-upload or profile-completion problems before the deadline.
